Lu Gang knew his worries and explained them to him.
"Children today are so smart, there is nothing they can't do."
"Besides, you can't afford to hire workers, so you might as well let us do it for you for free."
"I and several other teachers will help you build the main house, and the children will be responsible for the walls, so you don't have to worry about it being built crookedly."
When the old man heard that several of their teachers wanted to help build it, he immediately had no objection.
As long as the main house is in good condition, the walls can be left to the children to play with.
"Okay, then you go ahead and we'll take care of the food at noon."
Lu Gang smiled, "Okay, don't make that dish too salty. I'm afraid the children will be thirsty after eating too much."
Many elderly people like to eat salty food, which is not healthy for children, so Lu Gang asked for something lighter.
The old man nodded, "Okay, I will ask my wife to add less salt."
After Lu Gang agreed with him, he went to talk to the children about the specific tasks.
"Today we will help grandpa build a brick house. You will learn how to mix concrete first."
"I will build the main house with a few teachers. You can help lay the bricks for the remaining walls and chicken coop."
The children had never built a house before and were eager to try it.
"Okay teacher, let's get started."
Seeing how active they were, Lu Gang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you how to mix the concrete first."
The concrete used in building a house must be proportioned.
But Grandpa doesn’t have many professional ingredients here, and some of them have to be added using old recipes.
Clay, lime, and gypsum will all be used.
Lu Gang and several male teachers helped stir the food.
Because this is a strenuous job, children in lower grades cannot do it.
After the concrete was finished, Lu Gang carefully explained to them how to lay bricks.
"Every piece must be turned neatly. If one piece is crooked, the rest will also be crooked."
"When the wall is not built yet and falls down, it will be a waste of all the hard work of grandparents."
This place is far away from the small county town. If you want to transport bricks back, you have to ride a tricycle for a long time, and it is also expensive.
So we have to build it for others, otherwise it will be a disservice.
Chengcheng and the others didn't want to be a disservice, and they all listened very seriously.
Lu Gang started to show them how to lay the bricks, "Just put this amount of concrete on one brick, then put it down and tap it to make sure it is aligned."
He demonstrated several times before letting the children try it out.
Because construction also involves skills, and children are smart and will find the skills after a few tries.
Everyone wore gloves, took bricks and small tools, and carefully built the chicken coop.
Other older children helped with the main house.
It was also the first time for Jin Fanmo and Chi Haiyi to build a house, and they both looked eager to try.
Chi Haiyi looked back at Jin Fanmo and said in surprise, "Brother Mo, don't you have mysophobia? How dare you do this?"
Jin Fanmo pointed to the gloves, "It's okay, you can't touch them while wearing them."
"And architecture is quite interesting, give it a try."
He likes to do experiments at home, and building a house is another kind of experiment.
In short, it is a new learning pleasure.
Chi Haiyi felt helpless and funny when he saw him doing everything with a learning attitude.
"Okay, then I'll learn from you."
Jin Fanmo checked it on Lu Gang's mobile phone and carefully understood the key points of online architecture.
Then get started.
I didn’t get used to it at first, but once I got used to it I knew how to build it.
Lu Gang saw that he could build a house by checking his mobile phone. He admired him very much and secretly thought that the students in this school were too smart.
He had taught so many students before, not to mention how stupid they were, but they were also very smart.
But cleverness and intelligence are two different things.
Smart children are really skillful in doing things, and they have scientific basis.
You can basically learn it in one go, and you can also draw inferences from one example.
Like now, after Jin Fanmo learned to build a brick house, he also pointed out the design problems on the drawings.
For example, the position of the skylight must be installed according to the position of the midday sun. Otherwise, the sun's refraction angle is wrong and the house will not be bright.
Including which pillar should be placed in which position is very particular.
He even pointed out, "The house didn't have a foundation, so the house could easily fall down."
Lu Gang knew about this problem and felt helpless. "Most of the houses here have no foundations. Firstly, the elderly are reluctant to spend money. Secondly, the geographical situation here is relatively stable. There are no typhoons, rainstorms, or earthquakes."
Under all conditions, a brick house can still last more than ten years.
In addition, the old man is getting older and doesn't want to bother. He just wants to cover it quickly and not get wet in the rain.
And in a few years, it is estimated that no houses will be built here. The forest will probably be demolished for the sake of environmental protection, so that’s it for now.
The old man listened and laughed and said, "Yes, it is temporary. We will live there for a few years first. Who knows how long we can live."
The children have all gone to the county seat and will never come back like this again.
If they can build a brick house, it's pretty good.
"You guys do it first, my wife and I will get you some food to eat."
"Okay, please."
Grandpa and grandma went to cook, and the children continued to work.
Jin Fanmo and Chi Haiyi worked harder and harder, and soon the prototype was created.
That angle, that corner, is perfect, it’s simply the benefit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Then go outside and check the results of other children.
Sister Hong looked at him very nervously when she saw him coming, "Teacher, how do you feel about the wall I built?"
Lu Gang went to check her results, "Uh"
The wall was built crookedly, and there was silence for a while.
The fence that the grandfather wanted was curved, but she made it into a wavy shape.
But I can't say it directly, after all, this fat girl works so hard, I can't dampen her motivation, I can only praise her against her will.
"It's good, but the curvature doesn't suit the old man's liking. I'll help you modify it, and you can follow behind."
Sister Hong was particularly happy to see him praising her.
I feel like I’m going to have little red flowers again today.
Lu Gang squatted down to help her revise, and she followed behind.
The two worked hard to revise it for a long time.
At the end, Sister Hong looked at Lu Gang expectantly, "Teacher, have I done it?"
Seeing the expectant look on her face, Lu Gang understood a little and took out a small red flower sticker from his pocket.
He put it on her face and said, "Great. It seems that you are very perseverant in your work. Keep working hard next time."
Sister Hong was so happy when she got the little red flower that she immediately ran to find Chengcheng to show off.
"Did you see it, little red flower? This is the reward for being perfect."
"You don't have any, right?"
Orange and Orange looked at each other.
Indeed, they have no little red flowers.
But no one is surprised, this is all a kindergarten trick.
The four little followers also thought she was naive, but thinking about it, Sister Hong didn't seem to get any rewards at school, let alone Little Red Flower.
Getting two little red flowers this time really makes her happy.
Everyone was still kind, and they were not being sarcastic. Instead, they acquiesced that she was the only one with the little red flower.
Seeing their "envious eyes", Sister Hong felt even more proud.
"Okay, don't envy me. As long as you are as good as me, there will be little red flowers."
everyone
Okay, it would be great if you could change your ways.
So everyone didn't say anything more about her and just let her go.
Just vote~
